The IRS Fix Is In

Clearly, the Obama Regime fears nothing from the mainstream news media. They're conducting a cover up in plain sight.

The Justice Department said Thursday it is refusing to let a key
lawyer testify to the House oversight committee on the criminal
investigation into the IRS, saying that to let her brief Congress could
potentially skew its probe.

But oversight committee Republicans said blocking lawyer Barbara
Bosserman from testifying only makes the Justice’s investigation look
more partisan.

After an internal audit last year revealed the IRS was unfairly
targeting tea party groups for intrusive scrutiny and blocking their
applications for tax-exempt status, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.
called for a criminal probe into the tax agency.

Eight months later, the probe has shown few public signs of progress,
and many of the tea party victims say they still haven’t heard from the
FBI or Justice Department lawyers.

House Republicans said they were concerned about the direction of the
probe, and Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican and a subcommittee chairman
on the House oversight committee, asked Ms. Bosserman to testify at a
hearing next week.

The GOP has identified her as the lead lawyer on the investigation,
and they have questioned her role, given her history as a significant
political donor to President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

About Me

I was born in Tombstone, Arizona, but moved to California in 1959 when labor strikes at the copper mines devastated the Arizona economy. I've been moving north ever since. Pullman is as far north as I care to live and I'm looking toward reversing the drift.
